I saw a huge red-headed centipede, dancing with countless legs, and was preparing to poke its fiery red head with huge tentacles and mouthparts into the cave where Xiaomi and the others were.
The hairs all over the protagonist's body stood up. Suddenly seeing such a huge and ferocious-looking centipede, the protagonist felt the trembling feeling of facing the mantis approaching step by step with a sickle.
He opened his mouth widely and his six limbs were trembling non-stop. He had no idea what to do. Rush forward? He would definitely be killed easily by the centipede's huge mouthparts and thick poisonous tail claws. It's better to run away, yes, run far away, just like last time, my life is my own, I can never lose my life again, like in my previous life.
The protagonist's determination to escape has just been established when Hua Mulan bumps into him from behind and asks him doubtfully why he doesn't leave. They haven't seen the scene ahead yet.
At this time, the centipede had already reached into the hole with its tentacles. Although its tentacles were not long enough to reach the ants buried deep in the nest, the smell of the prey had already made it go crazy.
Although the opening of the hole is relatively large for carrying luggage, it is not big enough for the centipede to crawl in entirely. Having said that, if it weren't for the large opening, maybe Centipede wouldn't have discovered this hidden temporary campsite so easily.
I saw the red-headed centipede begin to wave its huge legs and three pairs of mouthparts, and began to dig the soil with a roar, trying to expand the area of the tunnel. The ants inside were finally alarmed. Although the protagonist ordered him to sleep, the ants who felt the danger woke up one after another, and there was a noisy friction sound in the cave. But facing the centipede with its head in the tunnel, they would definitely not be able to break out.
"It's over. They will all die. Centipedes are still poisonous." The protagonist felt cold and was about to sneak away quietly without attracting the centipede's attention. But they saw Hua Mulan and the others jumping straight down from the height of the last rock and rushing towards Centipede. They heard signals calling for help coming from the cave.
"Fuck!" The protagonist cursed in his heart, he couldn't escape from this. If he didn't have any guards around him, and if he lost his luggage and food, he wouldn't be able to escape back to the nearest sub-nest. He was very self-aware of this.
"Damn it, let's fight!" The protagonist thought that all the females in the team dared to confront this big centipede, so he should stop being timid. It would be too embarrassing for the time traveler to run away every time. Sometimes, there is only a narrow ditch between fear and courage. In this situation with almost no way out, the protagonist takes a step across the ditch.
The protagonist also jumped off the rock, landing firmly on a yellow and half-rotted leaf, chasing Hua Mulan and the others towards the centipede.
The centipede digs the soil very quickly. After digging out a hole that is barely big enough for it to pass through, it anxiously twists the first few segments of its body to squeeze in. The protagonist was very anxious when he saw this. Although the length of the centipede's hole was not long enough to touch the opening of the nest, with the centipede's ability to dig the ground like an earth walking grandson, it only took a few minutes. When it digs through the nest, the little secretaries and others crowded underground will not even be able to launch an attack formation. They will be unable to resist the centipede's huge mouthparts and poisonous jaws.
At this time, Wei Jiu was the first to run in front of the centipede. She hesitated for a moment. The centipede was completely covered with chitinous carapace, making it almost impossible to eat. Finally, she simply bit one of the centipede's countless legs, trying to drag the centipede out of the hole.
Hua Mulan and three other soldier ants also arrived. They also had no way to bite the carapace-covered centipede, so they had to bite the legs together and work together to drag it back. The protagonist shook his head. The four ants were not strong enough to pull the centipede out of the hole. However, after a rough look, the protagonist couldn't find any weakness in this guy. He simply shrank aside and prepared to observe the centipede's weaknesses while ensuring safety.
The centipede, which was digging the soil, felt the bite from the ants behind it. The carapace of its legs was not as thick as its body. The soldier ants bit it with all their strength, and it felt pain. Especially when Hua Mulan bit her hard. Close the weak gaps in the foot joints.
The centipede immediately retreated from the hole. As soon as its head left the hole, it began to twist violently on the ground like a long swinging rope. It even kept throwing its back to the ground, and then bounced back to life. Normal lying position. The protagonist who was watching the battle not far away saw the centipede's violent rolling and couldn't help but think of the famous "death roll".
The so-called "death roll" means that when a crocodile bites its prey, it uses the force of rolling its body to tear the food apart and then swallow it.
Although the centipede's rolling is not to tear its prey into pieces, it effectively interferes with the ants' attacks. Hua Mulan and Wei 4 bit tightly, and the centipede rolled around without being thrown off. However, Wei 9 was pressed under the centipede and could not be seen.
Wei 10 was thrown to the ground near the centipede's tail. The centipede turned around and stared at Wei 10 with its dark round eyes. Looking carefully at the pair of round eyes, each eye was actually composed of four single eyes. It's made up of something that can make people's scalp tingle just by making eye contact. The centipede stretched out its tentacles, trying to grab Wei 10 with its three pairs of mouthparts and tear her into pieces.
Wei 10 quickly dodged Centipede's sudden forward attack. At this time, Wei 9 finally crawled out from the centipede's belly, limping and losing its combat effectiveness. Hua Mulan and Wei 4 were still hanging on the centipede and could not make any more contributions. The tunnel in the temporary camp was originally dug into loose soil by the centipede. When the centipede exited at a high speed, it collapsed. The friendly troops in the nest were temporarily blocked underground and unable to come out.
The protagonist hid behind a piece of grass and watched Wei 10 face the terrifying giant centipede alone. In the world of bugs, small creatures that humans used to take for granted have now become ferocious and bloodthirsty.
Wei 10 showed no fear and dodged another attack from the centipede and bit the centipede's tentacles. The centipede's tentacles were very sensitive and he hurriedly shook Wei 10 away despite the pain. At this time, the centipede lost the patience to slowly hunt, and it rushed over again. Although it missed the target again, the largest pair of mouthparts, the jaw claws, pointed in the direction that Wei 10 was avoiding, and the front end of the jaw claws suddenly spurted out a stream of air. A red mist instantly enveloped Wei 10.
Under the gaze of the hiding protagonist, Wei 10 twitched a few times and then fell down. The centipede saw the right opportunity and rushed up, using its claws to stuff Wei 10's still twitching body into its mouth, chewing it up and eating it.
